A Grant Cattle snhsma.

ST. LOUIS, Mo May 25.-A local pa
per gives an account of gigantic scheme
to consolidate all the cattle interests of
the northwest, and form accompany which
shall control $4,000 900 worth OF cattle
and grazing lands. 1t seems to have Or
iginated with the Wyoming Stock Asso-
citation of Cheyenne, and is the out
growth of combination of smaller cat
tlemen into companies, which has been
going on for several years. This scneme
has been formed for organizing the largest
cattle country ever known, controlling
hundreds of thousands OF cattle and
ranges larger than MANY states The
failure OF Swan Bros. brought matters TO
g focus rather Unexpectedly. The plan is
to unite Wyoming, Colorado, Eastern
Utah, Western Nebraska, Southern Mon
taDa and Southern Dakota into
one great company, each absolutely
surrendering his individual herd and
ranch and receiving proportionate
amount Of stock in return. A similar
association has been recently formed in
Texas, but .One of far less extent, and
incomplete in its organization. The
danger of throwing upon the market 8
large amount of stock at an unfavOTable
time will thus be entirely Obviated, and
such disasters as followed the Indian
Territory sale rendered impossi-
BILE. Periodical depressIons necessJating
the weaker ranchmen to sell immatured
stock at ruinOus prices has been disas-
trouS st times, and this consolidation will
in great measure relieve the fear of dis
astrous consequences. The Swan failure
compelled cattlemen to take immediate
action, and delegates were sent to New
York, London and Edinburgh to impress
upon capitalists of those cities who agreed
TO 60 into the enterprise the necessity
for immediate action. There are con-
nected with the enterprise Sturgis, Lane,
Carey, Davis, life and Clarke Of Cheyenne
and UlriCks and Hdysmeyer Of New York,
together with q number Of Scotch and
English capitalists, and some from BOs-
ton and Philadelphia. These gentlemen
already control fully hsf Of the stock in
Wyoming, and have the support of nearly
all the residents of that territory. The
cattle Will be sppOrtiOned to the ranges,
the water supply fairly divided and the
productive region largely increased.

special TO the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, May 25.-Mr McAdoo,
member of Congress from New Jersey,
and one of the young leaders Of the
Democratic party, is here and talks free
ly on political questions. He thinks his
party Will easily elect their candidate in
1888. They are adjusting heir differences
and are coming closer together. He
thinks it more than probable an eXtrs
session of Congress will be called IN
October for the purpose of reducing the
surplus. The next Congress will be the
most important that has assembled in the
capital for q long time. The work il
will be called upon TO do will be of great
Importance 10 the whole country. The
action of this congress will be watched
very critically. He says there is an ap-
parent disposition on the part of the
factions in the Democratic party to lay
aside their crOChets and come together
He thinks they will work together. He
presumes Mr.. Carlisle viii be elected
Speaker, and much depends upon the or
ganiZed action of the committees. Mr..
Randall, he knows, will not be candi-
date for Speaker. The whole country
will be interested in the fovm-
stiOn of the Wsys and means committee
If the speaker desires to reduce the
tariff be can 90 so, Mr.. McAdoo says,
by putting on the committee none Of the
extremists OF either side, by keeping off
all men with hobbies and
who nave been elected on
"issUes," and composing the committee
of men who will study the question and
do what they conclude to be best for the
whole people. The committee must be
composed Of men VINO will study the
question inteIligibly.
Mr.. MCAdoo thinks there will be not
less than d 100 amendments to the inter
state commerce law offered as soon IS
congress meets. There is s very strong
opposition to the commission feature,
ne saYs, and he expects to see
it abolished. The ldea of commission
with absolute power such as exercised by
dietatOrs is repUgnant to Americans. He
has talked with some of the leading men
in Congress who say there must De some
thing done about it. The original Reagan
bill was fGr better than the present law.
The commission feature isWhat he .COnsid-
ers the worst of it. He is full of nope and
confidence as to the future Of the Demo-
cratic party.

Where They Spend tho wintsr-An Ante
diIuvian L7Onstsr
Bats in cold climate hi bernate during
the winter, says a writer in the San
Francisco Call; in other words, they are
enabled to enter dormant state
and live for months without eat
ing. So complete is the sleep that
in cases examined the most delicate
instrument failed to detect breathing on
the part of the animal, and in another in
stance the bat was placed under water
without any apparent harm resulting from
the extended bath. The deep sleeps are
generally passed in trunks of trees o.
caves, and in the latter myriads of bats
are often found. AS soon ss the insect
supply is cut off at the commencement of
the cold weather, the bats take to the
caves and do not appear until spring; but
in this country they are out all winter,
perhaps retiring during unusually cold
spells
Bats have their value, and deyoUr q
large number of insects from the mos
quito to the larger forms. Some of the
American Indians do not object TO roast
bat, and the big fruig bats of the Indian
peninsula are considered great luXuries
by the natives. As these animals have g
stretch of wings OF five feet, it must re-
quire no little moral courage to eat one.
In the early geological ages some re-
markable bat-like creatures existed,
though they were in reality reptiles; yet
some found east of the Rocky
mountains were, as far as appear
ance 90, enormous toothIess bats.
One American form had spread of wing
of twenty-five feet. The remains of
one OF these giants can be seen in the
museum of Yale college with another
from Europe that is doubtless the
most remarkable hier ever dlscov-
cred or even thought Of. Unlike
its American cousin, it was small and
resembled bat with q pelican
like bill armed with sharp teeth. The
tail, however, was the most wonderful
feature. 1t was longer than the body and
terminated in q Veritable paddle that
was fac smile of q tennis racket, and
served this curious fiier as Tudder.

TEXAS TENSIONS,
a State of Magnificent: Distances


Many people express surprise at the
great activity in railroad building in this
state and seem to think that the business
will be overdone. 1t is said that there is
no point in the state Of Illinois that is not
within hearing of locomotive whistle.
Those who think that too many roads are
being built should take into coneidera-
tion the magnitude of the state, its won
derful fertility ard illimitable resources.
Texas has PA ,357 square miles. 1t is
larger than all the New England states,
New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Penn
sylvania, Illinois and Ohio combined.
If Texas was as denseIy populated as
Massachusetts it would have over TO-
900, 900 of DOpulatioG-Or more than all
the Inhabitants of the United States and
Mexico combined. 1t is nearer from Ell
Paso to the Pacific coast than 1t is from
FL Paso to Galveston; it is uearer from
Texarkana, Tex, to Chicago, than
it is from Texarkana to Brown
vile, or to Ell Paso, Tex.
The wealth Of Texas mas increased with
a rapidity which is astonishing to those
who are reflective enough to consider its
geographical situation, and the vast terri
tory which 1t contains, which is wholly
inland and devoid of any navigable facili-
ties. In 1870 the population WAS SIS, 579
or little more than the population Of
Chicago to day. Taxable values of every
description were scarcely Sl50, 000,0 0O
A carefully prepared estimate put
the present population at not less
than 2,850,0C0, and the Comptrcler's
books show that the taxable values have

LAND REFORM.
What Secretary Lamar Gays About Cor
pcration Indemnity Land.

What Secretary Lamar Gays About Cor
pcration Indemnity Land.
NEW YORK, May pa Washington
special to the World says: Our cores
pondeDt had conversation yesterday
with Secretary Lamar in regard to the
question of land reform and Indian re-
form. A letter to the President on the
revocation of certain indemnity with
drawals is only the first step toward q
general revocation Of eli indemnity with
drawals in remaining parts Of the Coun-
try, as ne stated in his letter in these
words: "Steps Wild be taken in re-
ference TO the indemnity Of lands and the
land grants Of railroads TO view to re-
storing these lands to settlement as soon
as the department is in possession Of
such information as will enable 1t to act
intelligentIy in making allowances to said
companies OF indemnity lands in lieu of
those lost" Secretary Lamar said: 81
am by the habit of my mind cautious
man, and take pains to
inform myself fully Of all circumstances
Of q case before l deign to act, but when
l have begun action don't turn back nor
hesitate nor delay. am fully convinced
that ell lands which have been withrawn
from settlement at various times to allow
land grant corporations to select indem-
nifty lands from ought to be opened with
out delay, and this is what l Shall do.
Every indemnity withdrawal will be re
voked by me without unnecessary delay.
My first order on the subject simply
clears the ground for complete action on
which [ have determined"
"Have you any objections to this being
known"
"Not in the least, l authorize
you to say it is from
me. No conceelment is necessary.
Under the laws granting these lands cor
poratiOns are ami have been entitled for
years to select lands in indemnity limits
To make good any losses in their granted
limits, but hold that while corporations
had and have this right, the people had
and have at the same time the right to
settle on these lands under the land laws,
and il is just and necessary that this
equal right of the people in these lands
should he asserted. Hence ! shall revoke
every indemnity withdrawal and open sill
indemnity lands to settlement 81 once
within granted limi 5. The lana grant
corporations have certain rights 10 the
exclusion of people that is, by act Of
Congress, within the indemnity limits.
The corporations have their rights of
selection only in common with the
people.
